Tortoise SVN Command Problem

Question
I am trying to use the Tortoise SVN command line utility TortoiseProc.exe. The docs suggest that a command line like this:
"TortoiseProc.exe" /command:diff afile.cpp`
should do a diff and display the results in the configured diff viewer (in my case Tortoise's own one), but instead nothing happens - the viewer is not launched & no error messages appear.
If I do:
svn diff afile.cpp
from the same directory, I get the normal Subversion diff text output.
Paths are OK, Tortoise works fine from the context menu, so what am I doing wrong?
Solution
You need to put /path:
before the name of your source file:
"TortoiseProc.exe" /command:diff /path:afile.cpp
Tested on my TortoiseSVN.
